Here's a question for both of you:

1) Is there any reason someone could not, after the fact, cut parts of
   the main file and put that cut into conf.d?
2) Is there any reason someone could not, after the fact, cut parts out
   of the conf.d files and paste them into the main files, perhaps
   adding a comment as to where they were originally?

If both of those are possible, although we could still argue which
should be the default (and I strongly believe in one file), at least
each of us can have our own way with a half hour of work.

Thanks,
